About Me

I’m South African but I’ve lived in Argentina for the last 7 years.

I work online and travel a lot - every chance I can. I’m an economist, writer, and documentary filmmaker. You can have a poke at what we’ve done at: www.the1201project.com.

I like to tread lightly but I’m always up for something spontaneous and new. I find interest in most things with a bias towards the unexpected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A place is its people and when I have the time, I always prefer to travel this way.
